Update 10/16: Being given the rare opportunity to say farewell to his KHTK audience following his being pulled from the station’s schedule, Don Geronimo confirmed that he was pulled in order for the station wanted to focus completely on Sports.
Geronimo will be remaining with CBS and relocating to another market to be announced later.
Original Report 10/4: Claiming sagging ratings and wanting to have more sports oriented talk in its lineup, Don Geronimo has been removed from the lineup at CBS’ “Sports 1140” KHTK Sacramento.
Geronimo returned to the 12-3pm timeslot in July following a run in mornings on the station. He joined KHTK in May 2010 after retiring from his syndicated “Don & Mike” show based at CBS’ 106.7 WJFK-FM Washington in 2008.
Geronimo’s timeslot has been taken over by KHTK Sports Director Jason Ross, who was heard in that 12-3pm slot until the station’s July schedule revamp, and Dave ‘Deuce’ Mason.
No official comment or statement from KHTK or Geronimo yet. Unlike most terminations in radio he has yet to be purged from the station’s website. We will update with more details when they become available.
